Windows 7 Ethernet problem
« on: January 23, 2013, 12:44:13 am »
hello im new to windows and having a problem. after i loaded windows and plugged the ethernet in i dont get a internet connectiuon.  I have the z77up5th motherboard.  It comes with a wireless network card but im not using it, i want to connect through the ethernet cable.  I am used to using osx mountain lion when i loaded mountain lion on this motherboard the ethernet cable just worked right after installation im not sure why windows 7 wont work.

thanks in advance

Your motherboard would have come with a cd. You need to install all the drivers on that disc once windows is installed,that should enable your ethernet ports and thus your internet connection.
